Summary	0004226: [feature] Add optional value to deny::channel called join-existing
Description	This feature is mainly useful for closed/paid networks or any other network that doesn't want users creating channels. deny channel { channel "*"; reason "Users may only use existing channels"; join-existing yes; }; This example prevents users from creating new channels, but allows users to join existing channels. As for allow::channel, it doesn't allow for on-the-fly channel creation where this feature will. For sanity, it may be advisable to deny both ::join-existing and ::redirect from being set.

Stealth 2013-07-18 00:39 reporter ~0017722	This is not a good suggestion, because: * This feature has a rather specific use. * There are modules that do this already (m_onlyopersjoin, m_restrictedjoin). * This functionality is not widely needed/used.
